Has anybody else heard if we are for sure getting a throwback alternate?

Personally I want to see a jersey in our "action green" color. Kinda like the lime green jerseys from last year but slightly less abrasive and more august. As clean as our new uniforms look in navy blue, I really miss the pacific blue metallic from our 01-11. Our throwback/ special jersey should be pacific blue (2001-2011) or our new nike green color. I don't like our pre-2001 uniforms.

My favorite is the 1985 away uniforms... the ones with the silver helmets and the blue face masks.

I would like to see the Hawks play a home game in those uniforms.

Doing so would serve as a fitting tribute to Chuck Knox, Steve Largent, Jacob Green, Curt Warner and all the rest of the mid-80s Hawks players and coaches who did the city proud at that point in the team's history.

Wow really? You keep shopping at Walmart bro while I keep it fresh for the ladies. Lol

I'm glad we have people here to decree what masculinity is or isn't for us.

If you don't like uniform talk, just get out. Is it manly? I don't know. I do know it certainly isn't particularly adult to pop into a discussion you have no interest in just to tell people what's wrong with them for being interested in it.

On topic: Our boys are going to look sick in those throwbacks. Are we able to have the wolf grey jerseys available as well as throwbacks or do we lose the grey to do this?

Just my two cents, I love the solid wolf grey and sold darker blue jersey/pants combos we have now and I wasn't impressed when I first saw them. We have the most unique uniforms in the league, much to the envy of ever player on other teams! I think the mix and match is cool too especially the white jersey and blue pants but the all grey is killer; and our grey looks different than every other grey color out there.

I bet the throw back jersey will look extremely awesome, hoping the Kelly green, royal blue, and old school grey (not that silver stuff) are part of it but after seeing the new ones I'm not worried how these will turn out. Also would like to find out how they can incorporate the sleeve hawk logo into the newer cut style of the modern jersey.

I was thinking of this just last night because I put up 8 jerseys on the walls of my living room (which is slowly becoming a 12th Man VIP Pilsner Lounge).

With the 4 pre-2012 unis, there are 8 logos (sleevehawks) on display. Amongst the 4 new unis, zero. It's all good, I'm not complaining. Just something I noticed. It's hard to avoid noticing the progression of corporate logo vs team logo. From HUGE sleevehawk and small Puma -- to nearly same-sized hawk and Reebok -- to ZERO hawk and stand-alone Nike.

It's a striking visual representation of the increasing corporate presence in the NFL over the past few decades.
